They are very much approaching Bay Area rents for Boston proper. I'd much prefer to live in Salem than downtown. I knew a girl who split a room with three other girls. Her PART of the rent was $1000 a month, and that was 2015!
One of the guys was in house sharing situation with either three or four other guys in the same boat. I think they paid something like $800 each. The rent was manageable, but you're still living with several other guys.
I’ll say when you work on the assembly line you work when the line is moving and corporate decides that.
I can see that.
Don't know how true this is, but on a tour of the BMW plant in SC, we were informed that if an employee stops the production line, they are fined $1000 a minute.

Maybe it's a scare tactic to influence certain types of outcomes:
1. Make your point in how important it is not to hold up the production line
2. If someone does, fine the employee
3. Employee will likely quit than have the next 5-10 days' pay go back into his employer's pocket.
If SC's unemployment laws were fairly generous, I could see an employer being tempted to do exactly that, or threaten to, so the employee acts in a knee jerk reaction before the employer can actually try to follow through with anything illegal.

Yep when I worked on the line at Chrysler if you stopped the line for any reason except an emergency you were written up no money was was fined because the UAW would never allow that. Because when the line goes down the company loses money.
Maybe people should be a locksmith (They make pretty good money. They generally cost about $100 or so a visit, or so I think I recall from my brief time as a call center rep for a safe company.) That way, they'd be able to open doors easier than by going to college.

For a good career try being a skilled tradesmen like an electrician, plumber, carpenter, and another great career is a too and die or a mold maker because everything that is made out of plastic is made with an injection plastic molding machine witch requires a mold. Electricians at a union plant like Ford Motor Company make $35-$38 an hour plus benefits.

Where I just retired from, the policy is that if an employee stops a production line, and their manager finds that the employee discovered a design or production problem, that employee gets a bonus. Also gains points on their performance evaluation which counts toward a raise, and potential advancement.
I guess it depends on the reason. If the stoppage is due to employee problems, it might be true. If it is due to a design problem, it probably isn't. One vehicle recall can cost massive amounts of money as well as reputation dings.
These degrees are required for any decent level paying job. That being said, NOT having a degree guarantees a low level paying job at best. Finishing college shows you can get a job done, take instruction, and have the ability to accomplish something bigger than yourself. Sure, it's not a promise to wealth and riches, but it's a MUCH better chance at it. I finish my Master's in December. I don't expect it to hand me a six figure income, but at least I can apply for some positions that I could not apply for previous to having a grad degree.
another reason degree is important - masters, mba, much easier to get later on (if you decide to).
